Nearly 100 disabled veterans have gained new meaning in life by taking in abandoned birds that have been trained and donated by Parrots for Patriots. The program matches unwanted or abandoned parrots with any veteran desiring companionship and something to care for. It is a new chance for happiness for both the veterans and the parrots. To qualify for a bird through Parrots for Patriots, veterans pay a $25 application fee and agree to home visits and a training session before their adoptions are approved.
